Verdict

Glorious Protector won his maiden in good style at Windsor last month and should run a big race on his Polytrack debut, MASQUERADING is just preferred, however, as he scored over course and distance to open his account and makes more appeal than another maiden winner Alwilda. The latter scored over a mile at Southwell in October but Grayswood and Interior Minister have the more recent form with placed efforts on their latest starts. The jury is out on Lamusawama at present as he finished tailed off at Goodwood last time having won over 1m2f here before that.
